Boosting your Board: Recruiting the Right Trustees

November 13, 2018 1:30 pm - 4:20 pm

Are you looking to recruit new Trustees, but don’t know where to start? 40% of Buckinghamshire charities and community groups in our recent survey said that they needed help with Trustee recruitment. If this is something that you could benefit from, this relaxed and highly interactive workshop will equip you with the relevant skills and knowledge to strengthen your Board.

This practical workshop will:

Examine why people become Trustees, and how to attract them to your organisation

Look at succession planning – and why it is important

Make you think about what key roles/skills your Board needs

Give you a wide variety of ideas for finding new Trustees

Provide guidance regarding Trustee selection and induction

Enable you to draw up an action plan for your organisation.

Facilitated by Hazel Finney, Lead for Volunteering at Community Impact Bucks.
